The only real option for you is for him to find a job outside the military. He wants work, but can't find it, right? Help him find a j.o.b. if you're concerned, man. People have needs, and his needs will always outweigh your own when it comes to his life. benagain made a good suggestion, imo. Job corp it's a rough start but it will get him out of the house and a little money in his pocket.

Right now he's thinking, "how am I going to make it on my own?" Help him make his way w/o criticizing his current state of mind. He just wants something better for himself, bro. There are options out there, but they center on a job with a decent wage I'm afraid.

If you can offer something better then you're gold. If not, then you may be wasting your time. I feel for ya, but unless you can truly help him, he's gonna do what he's gonna do.

I wish I could offer something myself, but I can't; I'm an unemployed peon just trying to survive myself. Get some info on job corp and give it to him. Do your homework and be prepared, tho. He's sure to ask a lot of questions...


Best wishes,
